Chapter 2286: Chapter 2088: Gu Linxi vs. Cui Jiangjing

Gu Linxi wisely parked her broken modern car in the innermost spot of the parking lot, took the car keys, and walked out alone.

The Gu Family members were all greeting the guests, and other relatives were busy chatting with the big figures who came to attend the birthday banquet. As she walked through, surprisingly no one recognized her.

Fortunately, Gu Linxi didn’t mind, and she walked straight through the hotel banquet hall towards the garden.

Since the birthday banquet hadn’t started yet, and she didn’t like crowded places, she thought it better to get some fresh air first.

Just as she passed by the pavilion, she overheard someone talking behind the rockery.

"Zhang Zhihao, stop pestering me, will you!"

It was Gu Ran’s voice.

Gu Linxi was just about to turn and leave.

A coarse, hoarse voice of a boy in his voice-changing period followed, "No way! Ranran, don’t you like me too? Why do you have to listen to your family’s words and appease Cui Jiangjing? Last time he treated you like that, don’t you have any self-respect?"

Cui Jiangjing? Gu Ran wants to appease Cui Jiangjing? Will he come today too? What’s going on here?

A crisp slap sound followed, and Gu Ran angrily cursed, "How can you speak to me like this? You humiliate me, are you happy now? I have no self-respect, right? Get lost, just get lost!"

Zhang Zhihao, seeing her cry, immediately panicked, "Ranran, don’t cry, seeing you cry makes me want to kill myself. Don’t cry, it’s my foul mouth, I didn’t mean it. I know you’re compelled, it’s not your wish, I’m just angry they treat you like a tool. My aunt says many people in the circle misunderstand you, I’m afraid they’ll say bad things about you behind your back."

He had already spoken so tactfully, but actually for Jikang’s project this time, he had been stirring up trouble at home for several days, which had already annoyed his father. That day Jikang suddenly announced the project was given to a company no one had heard of, not to Gu Real Estate. Without eating, he rushed to find his aunt to inquire about the inside story. When he returned, his father was furious, threw the chopsticks, and angrily complained that Gu Ran was using him, also said Gu Ran’s reputation was rotten in the circle, and everyone knew about it. He definitely didn’t want to believe it, but frustratingly, even his mother, who had always spoken highly of Gu Ran, sided with his father and refused to speak for Ranran.

Today, none of his family members came to attend the birthday party. His father only sent a gift, and confined him at home, not allowing him to leave. He sneaked out to attend the Old Madam’s birthday banquet, even withdrew all the money on his card to buy a jade and agate bracelet as a birthday gift for the Old Madam, seeking not to lose face. But upon asking, he found out that Cui Jiangjing was also coming, and Gu Ran told him the Gu Family doesn’t allow them to interact, hoping she would climb up to the Cui Family in Capital City.

Any normal man couldn’t stand this. In his anger, he spoke carelessly and scolded her, not knowing he made her cry.

"Ranran, don’t cry anymore. I beg you, stop crying, okay? As long as you don’t cry, I’ll do anything you want!" He pleaded humbly, trying to help her wipe tears but dared not touch her, afraid of making her react more intensely. After scratching his head for a long time, he suddenly remembered the birthday gift he bought, quickly took out the brocade box containing the agate bracelet, and offered it to her like a treasure, "Look, this is the birthday gift I bought for your grandmother, isn’t it beautiful? You said you didn’t know what kind of gift to choose for your grandmother? Just use this one for her. Elderly people all like agate."
